Questions:
1. What kind of water exercise have you tried? What was your experience like?
2. If we visit a swimming pool, will everyone only know how to swim? Will non-swimmers also be engaged in water activities? And will you bring your kids to play with you?
3. Have you ever experienced drowning or had a fear of water? What kind of aqua exercise is acceptable to you?
4. Do people who can swim still need aqua fitness? How do you differentiate between swimming and water fitness?
